Catalyst Ranch

With great creativity comes great celebrations! Arden’s coaches are quite familiar with Catalyst Ranch’s wacky and wonderful meeting rooms in Chicago’s West Loop that make exceptional spaces for accessing new ideas during an offsite meeting. What you may not know is that the ranch’s colorful and eclectic setting can also be rented for a unique and inspiring corporate shindig.

Already furnished with cozy chairs and funky fixtures, you won’t need to spend money on tables and chairs when you host your party at the ranch. And Catalyst’s Gala Girls will get everything set up and running with ease, transforming each space to meet your needs, whether that’s creating a kooky cocktail area, an all-out dance floor, or both!

Loft on Lake

Located on West Lake Street, Loft on Lake is a one-of-a-kind timber and brick loft venue. Guests enjoy Loft on Lake’s industrial feel that features exposed beams and seemingly sky-high ceilings.

With 4,870 square feet on the open and airy ground floor all to yourself, Loft on Lake is the ideal location for showcasing a new concept or product that’s not easily transported. It’s even become a hit venue for auto shows and reveals.

The adjacent full-size kitchen and a long list of preferred local vendors ready to partner with the Lake on Loft event team make it a dynamic event space great for a product launch, demo, training, or company bash.

At the heart of Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, you’ll find Greenhouse Loft, a beautiful blank canvas that’s ready to meet the requirements of your grandest company party vision. The glass house’s wraparound, floor-to-ceiling windows overlook an expansive outdoor garden, flooding natural light into the more than 3,600-square-foot space.

Day or night, Greenhouse Loft is an illuminating venue to experience. It also doubles as a highly sought-after locale for wedding receptions and ceremonies.

Greenhouse Loft holds Certified Platinum LEED status, the highest ranking possible issued by the US Green Building Council, so choosing the Loft as your company party destination allows you to make a multi-level impact, wowing your employees and conserving the environment.
